From everything I hear the costs exponentially grow when a PM hires out your repairs/maintenance compared to the cost of you source the work yourself.

Exceptionally knowledgeable, very professional, and service oriented.

Unless you are a seasoned real estate investor with professional title searching skills, I wouldn't do this.

There are sophisticated syndication investors contributing on BP, who have set up professional standards of due diligence and investment criteria.
